Free screening: Maggots and Men at the Roxiehttp://frameline.org/now-showing/events/frameline-encore-jan-2013 Maggots and Men Thursday, January 10 at 7:00PM Seeing Cary Cronenwett's Maggots and Men, you have nothing to lose but your preconceptions of gender. This utopian re-visioning of the Kronstadt Uprising of 1921, featuring film history's first cast of over 100 transgender actors, paints an idyllic portrait of formerly pro-Soviet sailors at the Kronstadt naval garrison who rebelled against the perceived failures of the new Bolshevik state. In drawing a parallel between the history of revolution and the free expression of gender, Maggots and Men evokes the poignant sense that our present world is haunted by radical potentials that have yet to be fulfilled. This pioneering Frameline Completion Fund recipient positions the struggle for gender equality within a larger struggle for peace and justice, bringing together trans and queer communities as well as audience members drawn to the film's political content. Frameline Encore: A free series of screenings and discussions for the queer community. Frameline is more than your favorite summertime film festival! Enjoy edgy queer film year-round with the Frameline Encore Screening Series. Frameline Encore aims to increase accessibility to diverse queer stories, with an emphasis on films and discussions about underrepresented experiences, such as gender variant folks and queer communities of color. We proudly present the first season of Frameline Encore at the Roxie Theater in the heart of the Mission. The Roxie remains committed to independent, experimental, and non-traditional filmmakers, and we're thrilled to bring a monthly queer screening series to this vital community hub. Join us at the nation's oldest longest-continously running theater on Thursday, January 10 at 7:00PM as we launch this exciting addition to Frameline's year-round exhibition program with 238 of our favorite queerdos!
